Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 448674, member: 622"] JeremyCuse touched on this but Rutgers fans totally miss this fact: Indiana and Illinois have been receiving B1G money for decades and their football product remains the doormat. $$$$$ means nothing unless you do something with it. Money is a tool, like a hammer or wrench. If you use a hammer to tighten bolts, you are likely to do more damage than good. If you use a wrench like a hammer, you may get lucky once in a while and send a nail home, but most often you will fail. As JC alluded to, it will take Rutgers many years just to break even. With NJ's tight budgets, I don't think they will be rolling in the dough and collecting lots of cash form the NJ residents. Rather, Rutgers will probably be forced to pay down their Athletics department debt, compounded by their Big East buyout and B1G buy in, that should take many years. [/QUOTE]
